That's the only thing you've changed by removing the carby top. BTW, I've never seen a float "sticking" in a Quadrajet, they usually become porous & sink, making the carb run overly rich. Dr Terry

(externally or in the carb inlet fitting?) should be! and also don't get the comment ' seems to pump fuel when you depress the plunger with the lid off but when you replace the top back on it won't pump' You have to replace the accelerator pump plunger in its bore BEFORE you put the gasket on and replace the top airhorn cover and have the fuel bowl FULL of fuel Edited by user Wednesday, 4 December 2024 2:28:55 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
